April 2012 . Draped Vines
“This looks like it could be the cover of an indie album.”
I’ve been teaching Mr. T photography. We’ve trekked many hills and streets in San Francisco. Along the way, we would stop, I would help him with how to read the light meter and how to set the aperture and shutter speeds. I’d make him stop at random and point out something ordinary and say “that’s a cool subject.” He’s getting better at framing and composition.

April 2012 . Cherry Blossoms
“It looks like we got to the end of the festival.” “Yes, but there are still plenty of subjects to capture.”
Spring is here and Mr. T and I went out to the Cherry Blossom festival in Japantown two weeks ago. I had planned to teach him to take photos and when we got there everyone was starting to pack up for the night, but we still made good use of the lighting. He even took the above photo. Lovely!

“TGIF!”
Happy Friday! Today’s blog post almost got away from me, but in my dedication to staying on track and with the help of my cultivated editorial calender, I’m sharing a few of my favorite murals located in the Mission neighborhood of San Francisco.

Do you know what these are?
Tart tins! My grandmother was famous in her community for making the best egg custards. Hands down, her’s had the creamiest yellow custard delicately cupped inside a flaky, golden brown shell. While I may be a bit biased, I have never had a restaurant, or bakery made version that compared. Oh how I miss them. » Read the rest of this entry «

October 2008 . Apartment Therapy
If you know me, you know I LOVE books. I am a self-proclaimed, proud-to-be bookworm. That being said, I’ve been following several favorite blogs for the past few years. While I absolutely love food blogs with a passion, I have to add to the top of my ranking, Apartment Therapy as a happy obsession. Just today, I received my winning copy of Apartment Therapy: the eight-step home cure. Never in my wildest imagination did I think that I would win a contest and receive a signed autographed copy of their eight-step home cure!!! » Read the rest of this entry «
